They must each be avenged – v3

Every son, every daughter,

there will be no forgiveness,
There will be no forgetting
the terror, the genocide,

Every sadness, the destruction,
carnage, the legacy of genocide,
Everything that has been lost
must be avenged for justice,
for Ukraine, for humanity,
Never Again, for all time…
